I am very proud of how this map turned out, hopefully it will not be too big for some of you.
A few notes:
For the reasons behind this perspective, see my original twisted med map thread.
I am cropping a couple versions of this will post them in the 2nd and 3rd post
I will be extending this to the north eventually, as it stands the north edge is around Kiev.
The map is heavily forested because of what I am using it for, you may want to remove some forest.
Call me wierd, but I don't like the way flood plains look on the mini map and I never really like the xtra food it gives compared to straight grassland??? so I put plains and grass around the nile and euphrates/tigris, change if you don't like.
There are no resources, starting locations, etc. Use this map to create your own scenario or import someone elses rules/resources/etc.
The present map full size is 250 by 150 for 18750 tiles, this is roughly comparable to 195x195. Check the second or third post for a substantially smaller map with some of the edges trimmed.
The rivers/terrain distribution in sudan/ethiopia and iran areas may need some tweaking, I didn't have good map resources to work from in these areas, also have no water sources in arabia as it is now.
There was a canal connecting the red sea and med in ancient times, I have this represented on the map so that a city on that location will allow passage, in case you were wondering why it looks wierd there.
